 K900 | That is set by other modules | 19:23:58 |
| K900 | And then the actual enabling is gated by (enableBestEffort && compatibleKernel) -> enable | 19:24:24 |
| K900 | (I think this is correct?) | 19:24:34 |
| K900 | Can't think of truth tables rn | 19:25:14 |
 nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | What does Proton use instead of ntsync now on NixOS? | 19:28:44 |
| K900 | fsync | 19:30:08 |
| K900 | Which is perfectly fine and generally shouldn't cause major performance issues outside of pathological cases | 19:30:22 |
| nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | I mean I do think ntsync is def what Valve is pushing distros to use considering its the default now with Proton 11 | 19:30:52 |
| K900 | Once again, I am not opposed to ntsync, I just want to see a better solution for enabling it in multiple places | 19:31:38 |
| K900 | I may end up just writing one tomorrow if I don't get lost in the staging mines] | 19:31:51 |
 Marie | is there a reason why proton cannot load the module by itself? I thought the kernel has things for module auto loading when some device is requested | 19:33:33 |
| K900 | Not without being root | 19:34:25 |
| nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | is gamemode still useful | 19:57:06 |
| K900 | Never was particularly | 19:57:41 |
| nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | If you enable gamescopeSession with steam does steam automatically use gamescope or how is it used :p | 20:12:07 |
| K900 | It adds a separate session that you can log into | 20:13:03 |
| K900 | That runs Steam Big Picture inside gamescope | 20:13:08 |
| K900 | Badly | 20:13:10 |
| nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | icic | 20:13:17 |
| K900 | If you want that done non-badly, use Jovian | 20:13:22 |
| K900 | If you want not that, explain what you actually want | 20:13:28 |
| nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | You can still call it manually with gamescope in the game launch arguments right? | 20:13:41 |
| K900 | Yes, and the option does nothing to that | 20:13:50 |
| nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | Why is it in nixpkgs if its badly implemented and why not take the way Jovian implemented it and put it in nixpkgs :p | 20:14:35 |
| K900 | Because someone merged it without asking, and because it relies on Valve internal stuff that nixpkgs is often too slow to adjust to, and also has questionable licensing | 20:15:00 |
| nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | icic | 20:15:22 |
| nyanbinary 🏳️⚧️ | Is it planned to upstream the unbad way eventually if possible? | 20:15:34 |
| K900 | Maybe | 20:15:38 |
| K900 | It would require Valve to stop actively changing things under us | 20:15:49 |
| K900 | And probably someone with the motivation to do so | 20:15:57 |
